Who is SHE?….

I’m Shanon. I am a wife. A mother. A daughter. A sister. A friend. I practice yoga. I practice Buddhism. I practice therapy with my clients. I also practice art therapy with my clients. I am a lifelong journaling junkie. I am a survivor. I create art. I love to be barefoot. Trees calm my soul. I listen to the whispers of my dreams. I am guided towards the places my soul leads me.

What guided me here?….

A tiny tug inside me, asking me to be open and explore some new paths and to be willing to be vulnerable with myself and my world. As I began to explore, I felt that blogging might be a good source of creativity, expression of feelings and thoughts, inspiration, community and sharing; maybe it would set my soul on fire and keep me connected, while also allowing me some new adventures at the same time…?!!

Journey with me…

So many parts of my journey make me pause and breathe deeply. I love the word serendipitous because of the way it takes up space inside my body and soul… it feels so perfect and quaint - like a tiny hideaway along wooded path that’s just waiting for you to arrive. I love metaphors and visual descriptions for what I experience, what I think and what I feel because in many ways it’s how I move through my world… visual images, like tiny photographs in my head of what is being said or experienced. Weird, I know, but it’s exactly the way I am. It’s also probably why I still love picture books, hahah!!! (I’m pretty serious.)

My intention for this space…

I wanted to create a space for me to share my stories, my experiences, express my thoughts and allow rooted and deep connection with others. I have created a space for self reflection, curiosity, knowing and believing in your own value and worth as human beings. Providing a safe and inclusive space where the value of kindness and compassion are deeply appreciated and held with dignity and gratitude. I want to share my stories, my perspectives and my mistakes in hopes that they may resonate with others and possibly offer perspective, awareness and even community with others. This is a new journey for me and I’m certain that along the way I will make some wrong turns and mistakes, I usually get off to a rocky start with new things, however; I know I am intrigued about this world for one reason or another and maybe its just personal growth and exploration or maybe it’s more. Feel free to join me and discover if any of your pieces are found here — or maybe you’re looking for new pieces to inspire your soul. Whatever the case friends, welcome to my new rooted space. _/\_
